Neil As someone who thoroughly enjoys the area of personal development, it was extremely disappointing to hear Mr. Robbins use vulgar and offensive language to make his point - Particularly with a nineteen year old female participant who stands up to share a part of her story while Mr. Robbins proceeded to use four letter words with her that I wouldn't expect anyone in his position and influence to talk to a young, impressionable female a third of his age. It was uncomfortable to watch and unnecessary. On a brighter note, I am grateful for not shelling out five thousand dollars (or five hundred) to witness his inappropriate behavior in person.

sangeetachadha The use of the f-word as punctuation is very carefully designed. There's a different breed of celebutainers in town.....famous for no or mediocre talent, ultra-hyped to the point of nauseating, ubiquitous, use of cuss words their trademark. You can generally group them under "Illuminati." I've observed this increasing use of vulgar language, like f*** and p****, in broadcast, print, streaming media with much dismay! It's entirely unnecessary, but the use is rather calculated. Their fan-base, or the demographic they appeal to, somehow identifies with them over this overt use of cuss words. The leaders of this particular cult resuscitate flagging, or nourish fledgling, careers by utilizing their wide network of employers like ABC, Fox, Netflix etc. One basically "sells his soul to the devil" if they sign on with this cult, as you might have heard many a celebutainers cop to. Tony, likewise, is playing his part in this deal he appears to have signed with the devil. They will bankroll you big time, but will expect you to work your f****** a** (language solely used as a pun) to make you repay their investment. Their patrons win awards like the Golden Globes, Oscars, Grammies, American Music Awards, VMA's, MTV Movie Awards, Emmies, Tonies, etc. etc.; they cover tabloids and glossies; they make all kinds of "100 Influential..." lists with Time, Forbes, People, etc.; they're always doing one insipid project after another; they are notorious for featuring their cult members in nearly, semi, or totally-nude shots, or in shots with crotch and butt prominent. They get giddy with talk and thoughts of disgusting sex acts. Just a sexploiting cult, really!

jfgibson73 This documentary films a six day event in which Tony Robbins works with attendees to change their life. Presumably, everyone has some different area they want to work on. Several times throughout the film, we see computer screens or paper lists mapping out the day. What I would have been most interested to see is the steps of the process, perhaps following some attendees through each piece. I imagine they felt that that would be giving away his product for free. Instead, we see several "interventions" in which Tony sometimes seems to speak truth, and sometimes tells people to do some confusing things. I wanted to believe that this man understands how we work and can get to the core of all our issues, but this film didn't make me believe that. It didn't disprove him either, just left me less interested in what he has to say. I've enjoyed his podcast appearances much more than what I thought was going to be a look into the inner workings of an effective process.

matthewgmarvin This documentary does a fantastic job of showing viewers the power behind the experience of this event (Date with Destiny). Tony Robbins has invested his entire life working to create breakthroughs for people (whether someone simply attending one of his events to professional athletes, multi-billion dollar entrepreneurs, and even Presidents of the US). What you'll find in this movie is a backstage look at how Tony takes all the skills & techniques that he has used through the years to help businesses and executives experience real world financial breakthrough ... and uses those techniques to help individuals to experience the emotional, spiritual, physical, and psychological breakthroughs that they've been seeking for decades. I, too, was a skeptic at first. However, I attended this event and was blown away by the fact that Tony Robbins literally gives everything he's got to ensure participants truly have a transformative experience. He is in the room for 12+ hours and doesn't "cut corners" to make it easier for him. After attending, you will quickly find that what he brings to the event is far more than what you paid to attend. I would wager a bet that the majority (if not all) of the critics of this movie have never attended an event. I honor them & respect where they're coming from ... as I mentioned, I was also skeptical at first. However, they are speaking from a limited perspective. It was Theodore Roosevelt who said "It's not the critic who counts; Not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could've done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena..." The critics of this film are good people, well-intended citizens who are just doing their best to look out for others' best interest. The only difference is ... they've not been in the arena and seen the countless lives changed who've attended Tony's events over the past couple of decades. Check out the film and make your own informed, intelligent decision. It is very moving and, if you're open to it, you may even find your heart tugged in a direction to see life from a new perspective. Many blessings & happy viewing!
